Jan says... How about when forum members log in for the first time they list their Location and the trees that they are growing or trying to grow. Existing members could also do this. This could open up a lot of questions and answers from people in the same location. Then a quicklink might be able to be organized for specific locations enabling people to search their location first to find the answers pertaining to their own area. Then if they don't get the info they needed they can always go to the rest of the forum and hopefully get some general info from there. | About the Author Jan5 Bundamba Qld. 27th June 2007 9:47pm #UserID: 88 Posts: 25 View All Jan5's Edible Fruit Trees |

Reg Wong says... My mandarin tree produces profusely but only small fruit. I fertilise at the beginning of Autumn, Winter and Spring and never in Summer. Water is not a problem. So what is my mandarin tree lacking? Also how do I get the possums to share equally and fairly with me? I live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Reg Wong says... Julie You wouldn't call a 10-YO tree old - or would you? I prune once every 2 yrs to ensure no over-crowding of branches and to expose the centre to sun and air circulation. Judging by its general appearance, my mandarin tree is very healthy - every stem is firm with no attachments of deadwood and the leaves are large and dark glossy green. No, this is not a sign of excessive nitrogenous nutrients as I use only "balanced" Citrus Fertiliser with the (horticulturally formulated) NPK components. My soil is at the "ideal" pH of 6.5 for citrus. Also there is no deprivation of essential trace elements as I mist the leaves with magnesium and distribute boron at the foliage periphery. Something is amiss with my approach - otherwise why am I getting only small fruit - but what? Should I resort to Peter Cundle's favourite sheep manure? How do I get rid of the possums that do nocturnal raids just when the fruits are ready for harvesting? Feeling decidely desperate.

Correy says... Here is the link for the possum barrier: http://www.sureguard.com.au/possum_electric_fence.mv My understanding is that it is static so it is different to an electric fence so it wouldn't be bad for grandchildren but I would probably give them a call and discuss it more. | About the Author Correy Woolloongabba, QLD 31st July 2007 9:33am #UserID: 3 Posts: 493 View All Correy's Edible Fruit Trees |

brian says... Hi I read of a gardener using naphthalene flakes ,just a few on a piece of tape over borer holes, seemed to kill them in a couple of days, then remove, I think some napthalene flakes in a stocking or similar, hanging from a stake nearby and off the ground would be a very strong deterrent for all and any rodents, not sure if the smell would permeate the fruit but well worth trying. and cost is almost nil. regards brian | About the Author brian3 newcastle 20th August 2007 10:53am #UserID: 130 Posts: 5 View All brian3's Edible Fruit Trees |

RolFlor a says... Advise the 'new topic' authors to put the entire question's main subject within the subject box (so as to clearly and briefly show what the question is),and to keep that subject short but clear,and to then also continue the question ,with the finer details ,if needed,in the posting body box. | About the Author health101orgarticles1 Ovahere 18th January 2009 3:44pm #UserID: 316 Posts: 159 View All health101orgarticles1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Eve says... Correy A subject I started a couple of days ago seems to have disappeared (unless I need new glasses). It was about some low growth on a Dwarf Mulberry - asking about whether to cut it off (as with grafted trees/bud unions etc) or leave it as part of normal growth for a mulberry bush. Was it removed for a reason or did it disappear into the ether. :) | About the Author Canberra 19th January 2009 10:28am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
